I dont code much in windows, but what little I have seen, system command work just as well there.


I tried your code in Linux (with ls replaceing dir) and I got the expected result. So the program works for sure.


tell you what, check if adding a \n at the end of the print line changes things.


I have a feeling, you are running into buffer related issues.


The other thing that you can do is to change the command from dir to something like "mkdir a"
Reply:Try including Dos.h in your program. Write #include %26lt;dos.h%26gt;.
